In this episode, Aya and Josh risk it all as they continue their discussion on cancel culture, touching on the fear of being canceled, publicly expressing opinions on controversial topics (abortion, vaccine hesitancy, trans rights, the Holocaust, pedophilia), the court of public opinion, dark/shock humor, pushing boundaries, censorship, malicious intent, inconsistent consequences, "liberals" vs. "conservatives," safe spaces, "freedom," no-platforming, responding with nuance, separating artists from their art, "The Coddling of the American Mind," Fox News, and targets of cancel culture (Bill Cosby, Louis CK, Kevin Spacey, Gina Carano, JK Rowling, Whoopie Goldberg, Woody Allen, Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, Hitler, and the Catholic Church).
